Walk to the desert

As I walk,

Through these thorns,

That tear my hope away.

An opening just ahead,

Swallows my eyes,

I’m lost in it.

I see a saffron shine,

A sea beyond the imminent,

My heart glares.

I remain,

And dither in the gust,

Within this mirage.

I’m beaming,

Yet I’m leaving,

Without you.
